Getting WiFi on OptiPlex 3010
Friend gave me a Dell Optiplex 3010 tower utilizing Windows 7 Pro 64-bit his business had outgrown. Had it hard-wired via Ethernet for years. Moved to a location that utilizes wifi only and there’s no connection.
Checked network adapters and the only thing listed is Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller.
I can hardwire tether from Samsung Note 5 via USB (only) but that creates hassles and uses cellular data. I’d like a straight wifi connection but see nothing in Device Manager etc. that indicates it’s wifi capable.
Will a wifi USB adapter work in and of itself or do I need a card also?

I have 500 Mbps internet at home, and via usb card the speed is barely 30-40 mbps..
Would a better hardware card with 2 antennas solve the internet speed problem??
Thank you!
